Synopsis

Key Features

• Get up to date with the defining characteristics of Spring Boot 2.0 in Spring Framework 5
• Learn to perform Reactive programming with SpringBoot
• Learn about developer tools, AMQP messaging, WebSockets, security, MongoDB data access, REST, and more

Book Description

Spring Boot provides a variety of features that address today's business needs along with today's scalable requirements. In this book, you will learn how to leverage powerful databases and Spring Boot's state-of-the-art WebFlux framework. This practical guide will help you get up and running with all the latest features of Spring Boot, especially the new Reactor-based toolkit.

The book starts off by helping you build a simple app, then shows you how to bundle and deploy it to the cloud. From here, we take you through reactive programming, showing you how to interact with controllers and templates and handle data access. Once you're done, you can start writing unit tests, slice tests, embedded container tests, and even autoconfiguration tests.

We go into detail about developer tools, AMQP messaging, WebSockets, security, and deployment. You will learn how to secure your application using both routes and method-based rules. By the end of the book, you'll have built a social media platform from which to apply the lessons you have learned to any problem. If you want a good understanding of building scalable applications using the core functionality of Spring Boot, this is the book for you.

What you will learn

• Create powerful, production-grade applications and services with minimal fuss
• Support multiple environments with one artifact, and add production-grade support with features
• Find out how to tweak your apps through different properties
• Use custom metrics to track the number of messages published and consumed
• Enhance the security model of your apps
• Make use of reactive programming in Spring Boot
• Build anything from lightweight unit tests to fully running embedded web container integration tests

Review

"To learn about the future of enterprise frameworks and, in particular, microservices, [read] Learning Spring Boot 2.0...Turnquist's book is aimed at both beginners and advanced developers who want to not just build an app in the Spring Boot format, but also learn how to deploy the app in the cloud." --Sal Pece (Senior Architect), TechTarget

"It was a brave move publishing this (or even writing it) before Spring Boot 2.0 has even hit the streets, but I think it should work out well for everyone. There isn't really any other book that covers this material at this point in time: all the topics from the first edition, but covered from a new perspective of the new features of Spring 5.0 (reactive everything)...Greg has packed this new edition with new material, and pretty much thrown away most of the first edition from what I can tell. I don't know where he finds the time." --Dr. Dave Syer (Pivotal), Spring contributor and Spring Boot/Spring Cloud co-founder

"Greg has spent the last couple of years closely monitoring the Reactive story being prepared by the Spring and Reactor teams. The result? A book that is offering a pragmatic and progressive path to Spring Boot 2.0 with its new reactive features. It is filled with smart tips that will save reader time more than once. I particularly appreciated the easy mindset bridge between what a Spring developer already knows and what is now offered to him in these latest project iterations. Learning Spring Boot 2.0 is in my opinion a must-read for the audience looking at empowering modern spring to build efficient backends and microservices. Congrats to the author and I hope this precious resource will help many!" --Stephane Maldini (Pivotal), Project Reactor lead

"[T]his is the one and only book about Spring Boot 2.0 out there and trust me I've read them all. Also the presentation of the new Reactive capabilities is phenomenal."  --dimitrisli (Amazon review)
